Re: The Taste (ABC Tuesday 8 P.M.)

I just watched On Demand as moving to 9pm on Monday screwed with my recording schedule.

Lauren hit bottom with her plating (too much rice) while Nina Marie was said to have missed the challenge altogether. While Nigella asked that it not be a pity vote, it was probably still very close and Lauren squeaked through.

Re: The Taste (ABC Tuesday 8 P.M.)

I like the concept of blind judging and wish they would keep it that way for the win and elimination, too. This show needs some work if it goes for a second season. It is not good as it stands now.

IMO, it isn't truly a blind tasting unless it is blind all the way. They should each rank their bottom three. That would be much more likely to have the real bottoms eliminated without having this discussion and "revote" coming into it so that it isn't subjected to as much manipulation based on "good tv". I get tired of the editing just to serve that beast. Who says it makes it better, and how the heck do they know since all we ever get is edited to death tv?

I don't think there's any doubt that Lauren was kept to save Nigella's team.
Uno had a split vote -a red and gold star for pete's sake and it was NinaMarie's first time in the bottom.
ITA with everyone else - this needs to be fully blind to work.

I find it both hysterical and odd that Gregg keeps winning the immunity challenges and then bombs completely in the final challenges. Anthony and Malarkey are DYING to send him packing.
Gregg really pissed off Ludo this last time as well as the injury so it will be interesting to see if he survives.

Khristianne is definitely my pick to win. The flavors she comes up with are amazing.
